I am delighted to maintain my 100 per cent. first-time pass-rate at the PADI Instructor Examination.

Teaching bimonthly PADI Instructor Development Courses, IDC Staff Instructor Courses and MSDT Prep in French and English at WaterColors Boracay Diving Adventures S-6775, a leading 5* Instructor Development Resort on White Beach in the Western Philippine Visayas, I have the privilege of mentoring the next generation of conservation champions. As Course Director of WaterColors, I organise Dive Against Debris and beach clean-up events, together with other positive environmental leadership initiatives, such as Shark Petition Signature e-drives. In addition to the Project AWARE and AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialities, I teach the AWARE Fish Identification and AWARE Shark Consvervation Adventure Dives and Speciality Instructor Training Courses. Candidates and students at all levels donate and receive AWARE versions of their certification cards.

As well as being an Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer, teaching over 30 PADI distinctive and standardised specialities, I am a passionate DSAT TecRec full hypoxic advanced trimix (90+), Technical Advanced Wreck, Tec Sidemount and rebreather instructor trainer and I love cave diving in particular. I am an ANDI Cave Instructor.

My previous career was in investment banking, following my academic background in pure mathematics, in which subject I earned bachelor's and master's honours degrees from Oxford University. Additionally, I hold the Postgraduate Diploma of the UK Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (MCSI), all first-time passes including Regulation & Compliance.

I live in a tropical paradise. Every two days I run to Ao Muang. Each time I see many tourists going to and fro and falling off their rental scooters. They never have any litter with them. Where then do they put their empty water bottles? Clearly on the ground. Yesterday I found some empty pig feed sacks and filled one with 10kg of beer bottles and cans, motor oil bottles and even tubes of toothpaste. Obviously we all need to start doing this and stop marring our idyll. You may be on holiday, but we live here.

It was upsetting to find so much litter on the normally-pristine dive site Twins on 12th. Perhaps an abnormal dumping event or unusual current deposited the dozens of plastic carrier bags, 750ml drinking water bottles, plastic rice sacks, etc.. This site is dived by many boats on a daily basis. Sadly, in 11 years of diving in 22 coutries, I have rarely seen anything like it. Worse was the apparent apathy of the divers on the boats; there's nothing wrong with gently swimming around on the surface collecting debris during a surface interval!

We are a busy PADI 5* Instructor Development Centre, offering monthly Instructor Development Courses on the island of Koh Tao in East Thailand. Additionally, we provide student-level education from Seal Team and Discover SCUBA Diving through Master Scuba Diver. I personally train tec divers from Deep and Enriched Air Nitrox through Trimix 90+, including Sidemount, Tec Sidemount, Cavern, Trimix Blender and Self-Reliant (solo).
